Original story:

A woman that doesn’t know who she is was found in California and Interpol is asking for the public’s help in identifying who she is.

“Sam,” the name that she is going by, was found by paramedics in Carlsbad, a town north of San Diego on Feb. 1. She was very sick and was rushed to the hospital and checked into ICU where she remained in and out of consciousness for several days. “Sam” remembers waking up in the hospital and hearing a nurse talking about hospice, and that is where she thought she was. She heard herself speaking with an accent, but she had no idea who she was or where she lived. Doctors found that “Sam” had an ovarian tumor and it was also what was likely causing her to have her memory loss, called retrograde amnesia, reports SBC news.
